About

The math tutoring center wants some help! They would like a tool to analyze students’ attendance so they can more accurately forecast how many tutors they need. The goal is to get them a dashboard that they can upload a csv and play with some premade graphs they can filter.

Work to do:

• Cleaning: Times with 60 means they didn’t clock out, remove nulls and tiny clock times (< 1 min-ish)
• UI Framing: Get the Shiny framework somewhat resembling the whiteboard
• Backend: Allow user to add in a csv, probably dynamically clean it
• Exploration and graphing: Just that. Come up with something useful to include!
• Documentation (as needed)

Starting Place

Here is our day 1 brainstorm:

Day 1 Whiteboard Plan

High-level folders

• personal_folders - This folder has a folder named [lastnamefirstnameletter] for each person on the project.
• results - contains the deliverables from the project.
• scripts - contains the final scripts that built the items in the results folder. Each script should be concise and mapped to the deliverables in the results folder.
• raw_data has files that are smaller than 100mb provided by the client. Note that a data folder can be created in the repository and that it will be ignored for data larger than 100mb.
• derived_data has derived data files. Each script should start from a file in the raw_data or data folder and create an item in this folder. The script that created the derived data object would be in the scripts folder and could have the same name as the derived data object.
• documents contains a folder for the project proposal and any other reference_material.

blank_project_repository

A blank project repository for folder structure and naming guidance. The confidentiality_agreement.md can be posted as an issue and each student in the repository must sign it after getting access or their access will be removed.
